Disease relevance of scrR
- Regulation of sucrose-6-phosphate hydrolase activity in Streptococcus mutans: characterization of the scrR gene [1].
High impact information on scrR
- These results suggest that the scrR gene is involved in the regulation of scrB, and likely scrA, expression [1].
Associations of scrR with chemical compounds
- Inactivation of this gene, scrR, did not alter the relative expression of the scrB gene in the presence of sucrose or fructose but did increase SUC-6PH levels in the presence of glucose to that observed with sucrose [1].
